Explain why technological advances have made it easier to produce food in large quantities.

Technological advances have made it easier to produce food in large quantities for a number of reasons.

First, advances in mechanization have allowed farmers to work larger areas of land with less manual labor, making it easier to produce food in greater amounts.

Second, advances in irrigation technology have allowed farmers to irrigate larger areas with less water, enabling them to grow more food with more efficiency.

Third, advances in agricultural chemicals, such as synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, have made it possible to increase crop production yields. Furthermore, advances in agricultural biotechnology have allowed farmers to produce crops that are resistant to pests and disease, as well as crops that contain greater nutritional value.

Finally, advances in food processing and packaging technology have made it possible to store and transport food in large quantities more safely and efficiently.
